Angelo Lambrou

Where do I begin with how amazing Angelo is?!?! First of all, he makes all the dresses himself in the back of his shop, he uses the highest quality silk and other materials, and he is a GENIUS when it comes to design. He can make anybody's body look perfect. Second, the experience of working with him is incredibly personal. He offers you a glass of wine while you sit around and chat about dresses, he is warm and attentive and very reassuring, which is important considering how stressful it is to choose a wedding dress. He is also very accommodating, altering dresses as you desire. For me, he was able to combine the top of one dress with the skirt of another to create a brand new style of dress that flattered my body perfectly. I LOVED my dress!!!! He will even give you advice on accessories, shoes and shapewear so you look perfect. Also, as long as you give him your price point in the beginning, Angelo will work with you to make sure your dress is affordable -- something I really appreciated since I was on a bit of a tight budget. Where else can you get a completely custom-made silk dress for the same price as one of those designer dresses that are mass-produced in specific sizes and have to be completely altered to fit your body? I love Angelo and would highly recommend him to anyone looking for a beautiful wedding dress and wonderful, personal service.

I cannot sing the praises of Angelo loud enough. I always knew that I wanted a distinctive, out of the ordinary dress, and Angelo and Laura worked with me (and my budget) to create the perfect gown, with splashes of color throughout. Both were responsive, professional, and wonderful throughout the process, even helping me to select my accessories for the perfect look. While many brides find dress shopping and the subsequent fittings to be stressful, I found it nothing but fun and I am so sad that it's now over! In addition to being gorgeous, my dress was comfortable and light-weight so I could dance (and eat!) all night long.

Thank you, Angelo and Laura! You're both fantastic.

EVERYONE at my wedding IMMEDIATELY commented on how GORGEOUS my dress by Angelo was. And it was. He and his assistant Laura helped me create the most beautiful and unique dress for me and my historic wedding venue. They were a pleasure to work with as they are very warm, responsive and down to earth. Angelo is incredibly talented: he also quickly and creatively embellished a jacket to go over my dress, which went with the dress perfectly. Laura is incredibly helpful: she helped my now husband find his suit, shirt and tie. I would recommend them without any reservation, especially if you don't want the typical wedding dress.

I had the best experience getting my dress designed and made by Angelo Lambrou. He and the store manager, Laura, were a pleasure to work with. I went to the store maybe 10 times over the course of 8 months, had more fittings than I can count, and they were never anything but happy to see me. They helped me pick out my shoes and made me and my husband accessories to wear as well. The dress was stunning and they made sure it fit me perfectly so I would look my absolute best. It was the most fun part of planning the wedding by far and I will definitely go back to them for future evening wear purchase (if I ever have the chance!).

Finding a wedding gown can be a miserable experience...or it can be wonderful. I had no idea what kind of dress I was looking for and I went to many different places- from a cheap one on the lower east side- to a huge store in NJ- and then Angelo Lambrou. The smile that you are greeted with at every visit is so comforting. The fabrics they use feel like butter on your skin. Angelo & Laura were so easy to work with- they want you to love your dress, they don't want to just sell you a dress. They are true craftsman who are open to ideas & create designs that are truly unique and, in my opinion, more beautiful than any other designer out there. Guests told me my dress was the most beautiful dress they've ever seen & though I know people often say that to a bride- I think they meant it. The only thing I miss about planning a wedding is going to my fittings. I may pretend to get married again just so I can work with them and wear another dress made by Angelo.
